Extract from his autobiography:

After I resigned my job at the CIA, because they thought I was too old to still take dangerous jobs, I got in the footsteps of my father and opened an agency that had specialized in the implementation of difficult special orders.

After I succeeded in a very short time to put the performance of my agency through tireless personal commitment to the test, I finally got my first job soon by a man named Innhousen, who worked as a chemical company for anything.

The job sounded really quite simple: I should just fly a barrel with something radioactive waste from Quebec to Trinidad, where it should be then taken from a branch of the company in reception, then there secretly and quietly disappear into the sea ...

Granted, it was not necessarily moral of me taking this job, but since it is given to me to act cold and without emotions is presented to me not a big problem

Unfortunately I was only traveling aware that my flight route led by the infamous Bermuda Triangle, where many years ago disappeared without trace my father ...
